As the county seat of Morgan County since its founding in 1822, Martinsville is home to a historic county square that was recently the subject of a revitalization project, encompassing $15 million in building upgrades. One of the most historically intact commercial districts in the state, the county square is also a gathering place for the community, hosting many festivals and events throughout the year, including a Thursday evening car show with a live music stage. An annual event known as “The Fall Foliage Festival”, brings 5 days of celebration to the downtown, ending with an impressive 100+ participant parade that draws hundreds to the area. A brand-new park, named Performance Park, will be added to the downtown, to be a community gathering space and an extension of the square. This new community area will have an open green space, an amphitheater, and an attached parking lot with EV charging stations. MART INSV I LLE INDI ANA
